Researchers Analyze Suicide Notes.

The Cincinnati (OH) Enquirer (3/15, Johnston) reports, “The world’s largest collection of suicide notes, more than 1,300 in all, is at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.” Researchers there “are using advanced computer technology to analyze the language in the notes and gain a deeper understanding of the thoughts of the people who wrote them. The goal is to create a tool, perhaps within two years, that can help mental health workers assess the likelihood a person will attempt suicide.”
